    I dunno the answers but I think your 1 and 3 is wrong. Tweezers are utensils right? How do you know that a red powdered thing is sugary?

    1. All of the following lab tools may be used to help separate a mixture EXCEPT____.
    A)Tweezers.
    B)Paper filter
    C)Water
    D)Oxygen


    a) Pick apart a salad or D) purple, blue, and yellow beads
    b) filter sand from water
    c) lower SG will sink higher will float. Decant
    d) H2 + inert gas mixture burn off H2 with O2

    These questions are dumb. They probably want Oxygen as the answer though. r****ds.

    Some of the questions are a little weird wording.

    I'm a little confused with the first one:
    1. All of the following lab tools may be used to help separate a mixture EXCEPT____.
    A)Tweezers.
    B)Paper filter
    C)Water
    D)Oxygen

    It say lab tools. I mean oxygen is a tool? I mean oxygen is a a substance that you can use to separate a mixtures of other stuff. I mean a tweezer you can still use it to separate a solid susbstance. So what are they applying here? What kind of mixture?

    I'm guess they left out the wording "pour the tea on a paper towel [AND LET IT DRY]" for number 2.

    Sugar dissolves so you won't see any crystals in the glass. They are looking for answer b there.
